I hate eating.



Recommended Posts

This will probably change some day, but at 4 months out I really hate eating. I get hungry like I used to and then sit down to eat, and within a few bites I feel gross and barfy. I need to learn how to a.) slow down and b.) chew my food. You'd think I would have figured this out by now, but nope! Apparently I am a very slow learner.

Yep I'm still a fast eater... I just get started and I'm finished. I'm 10 months out so the learning train has left me behind. :P

Glad to know I'm not the only one! :)

I'm 2 years out as of the 4th of Oct and I still eat fast. Will I ever learn? :angry:

sigh. I eat fast as well... Nothing I do seems to work. I still eat (at home) with a baby spoon, for goodness sake.

What's the biggest danger, if youre body is not making you hurl it up? Is it that you'll stretch the sleeve? Or that food will pass to quickly to digest?

I have this same fear since I eat way too fast too.

For me it just means that sitting down to a meal is over in about 5 minutes...

Not great when you're eating with friends and family..

I still measure my food so it's not about over filling to much..

For me, if I eat too fast then I feel sick because I overeat before my brain tells me I'm full. Sometimes it DOES make me throw up :(

I'm the same way. I never threw up until recently. I really have to focus on slowing down and NOT drinking when I eat. I used to just sip Water if I needed to during a meal. Lately I've been drinking more when eating and I think that is my problem.

I also hate eating. I eat a child sized portion and I still end up filling up too quickly.

I eat fast as well. I eat then I drink afterwards. If I try to eat and drink I get the over full and gastric reflux right away. It's hard to make a few bites last for a 30 minute meal. I chew a lot of time then swallow but it still doesn't take me more than 5 minutes to eat. In about two hours I 'm hungry again. I don't think I will learn either. So far I'm, still losing weight,and I hope to keep it off.

Whatever you do PROTECT YOUR SLEEVE!!!!! I use to think it couldn't be stretched, but now I am convinced. I use to be able to eat 1/2 egg and part if a sausage for Breakfast now I can eat two of each. The more get in the hungrier you can get the more you can gain due to I creased amounts if calories. BE CAREFUL - I LEARNED THE HARD WAY. I wish I could go back and change some if the decisions I made early on.

Change your eating habits while you are still not that interested in eating. Protect the pouch to ensure limited stretching. Develop a process that will work for you longterm.

DON'T TAKE THE SLEEVES CAPABILITIES FIR GRANTED!!!!

I did and now I can't stop the weight gain. Be proud of how far you have come and know where you want to go and what you need to sacrifice to stay there when you arrive..........BECAUSE YOU WILL ARRIVE!! Bbn

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
